Product Information

No, don'tapply masking fluid to damp paper, or dilute it, as the masking fluid may adhere more strongly and cause the paper to rip.

Do not leave the masking fluid for days or weeks before removing it, it becomes more difficult to remove the longer you leave it.If everything that we have said about masking fluid has piqued your interest, then read on into the next section to learn about everything you need to look for to pick the best masking fluid available. Before dipping it into the masking fluid, this helps protect your brush and stops the masking fluid sticking to it. With a bit of practice, the finest lines are possible but you can also apply broad sweeps of fluid with the Colour Shaper. If you have lots of white or even lightly painted shapes with a darker background, you can use masking fluid to protect those shapes. There are many ways you can apply it to your paper and possibly produce a range of different effects.

The masking fluid is convenient to work with because it is fast-drying, mess-free, and non-staining. It sounds like a good idea for applying the liquid with precision but I have not had great experience with this method. I use the number 10 curved blade to trim the excess tape by gently rocking backwards and forwards where i want the cut.Candle wax cannot be removed; the paint slides over the top and rests on the surface that isn’t waxed. Pay attention to the stated drying times and be sure to apply it thinly in multiple layers to save yourself this hassle. If you require a horizon edge on a lake or sea scene, simply attach a piece of tape gently on the line. The first and easiest option is not to mask at all, just like I did on my recent Airfix starter kit build.

When you want a large number of complicated white shapes with a darker background the easiest way to accomplish this is by masking your paper. Clean crisp lines for both dots and lines, this one has a much thicker consistency which i found hard to use for sharp lines with a brush.Watercolor masking fluid is especially useful when you want to create a fair number of white shapes against a darker background. Ten to thirty seconds should be enough time to melt the deodorant pieces depending on how much you added to the bowl, just keep checking. Watch also the temperature, if masking fluid is exposed to high temperatures, it will stick to the paper and become very difficult to take off.

Watercolor masking fluid is especially good for negative painting techniques where you establish a subject by painting around it rather than painting just the subject itself. Masking fluid works well for all the details that would take too much time to paint around like letters on a street sign or details in a flower. If your masking liquid is too thick to flow properly you can thin it with a couple of drops of water.You have a choice of either removing it with an eraser, your fingers, or a special peel-off formula. If you find that the masking fluid seems a bit too thick, you can add a drop of water to help thin it out so that it spreads easily. Pour equal amounts of water and latex fabric cement into a container that can be closed and become airtight.
